Today is Ashtami, the eight day of Navratra. All ashtamis are days specific to the Divine Mother Navratra as we all are aware of are also special days for the Divine Mother so the Ashtami in Navratra is doubly significant for all children of the Divine Mother.
Jayanti, your incident from the Mother's life is what we all need. We need to seek and ask for help. It should come from within as if our life depended on it.
I have seen on multiple occasions in my life, when I have prayed sincerely the help has ALWAYS come.
May on this Ashtami, Mother bless us so that we may earnestly seek help as we move towards the Supreme Goal.
